Megan in admissions was a joy to work with. After having not so great experiences with other facilities, my family was at a loss. The communication and support Megan has shown us is unmatched during such a difficult and stressful transition. Megan was always available, she put our needs at the forefront and made sure to keep in constant communication with us during my grandmothers placement. Miranda in the business office was very informative and helpful as well. My grandmother received great care during her stay at Hilltop. Kerona Wallace in the memory care unit was excellent. Kerona was very attentive and showed my grandmother compassion and grace. Thank you for the support and a great experience.

They do a pretty good job here overall. Lately I like that I can get around better in my electric wheelchair then having to depend on staff to push me around.
March 2026
I am an outside vendor for this facility. This is my favorite home in Kansas City. From the front desk, nursing staff, kitchen, housekeeping and social services are the most caring, helpful and compassionate people (entire staff if I missed anyone I apologize). It’s rare that a resident will tell me they are happy at the home they are at sadly but here I hear it throughout the day. Residents are always clean as well as every room or quarter I go to. It is nice to see a home like this. I would put my own mother or father here. I can not say that about many. My patients are everything to me and it gives me great joy to see them taken care of so well.

March 2026
It’s been a while since I have been in Hilltop. I recently visited the facility and I am impressed and love the changes that the leadership team is doing.
February 2026
I recently assisted a client with dementia through the admission process here, and it was a long and challenging journey. The admissions director, Megan, stayed in close contact with me from the very beginning last summer and was consistently patient, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Even after her placement, communication has remained excellent. The nursing staff have been kind, attentive, and respectful towards my client, and the social work team is always quick to respond and willing to problem-solve when questions come up. The environment is clean, welcoming, and well maintained. I truly appreciate the staff’s collaboration and compassion in making an incredibly difficult transition smoother.
February 2026
Hilltop at Blue River has been an incredible blessing for our family. Knowing my grandfather is cared for with dignity, patience, and genuine compassion gives us such peace of mind. The staff is personable, kind, and truly takes the time to build real relationships with residents and their families, you can tell this isn’t just a job to them. The environment is warm, clean, and welcoming, and communication has been excellent. Staff members keep us well-informed, are easy to reach, and always take the time to answer questions or address concerns thoughtfully and respectfully. There’s a real sense of community and trust that makes all the difference. It means everything to see my grandfather treated with kindness, respect, and humanity. I’m deeply grateful for the dedication and heart the Hilltop at Blue River team shows every single day. I would wholeheartedly recommend this facility to any family looking for a place where their loved one will be genuinely cared for.

Friendly staff, a clean and welcoming environment, and a beautiful location, this nursing facility truly stands out from the rest. Every visit feels organized and uplifting, and the team clearly takes pride in the care they provide. Megan is so easy to work with and always goes above and beyond to help. Her communication is excellent, and I always know my referrals are in good hands. It’s reassuring to partner with a place that treats people with genuine compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend!

My mom stayed at Hilltop at Blue River for several months after her surgery, and I can’t say enough about the care she received. From the nurses to the therapy team, everyone treated her like family.

My mother seems to enjoy the facility and is happy with the staff. She would prefer to be in a more private room because of her roommates, but enjoys their company from time to time. She enjoys the games the have and prizes she has one. I’m grateful they are taking wonderful care of her and the time to host game night and other activities to keep her active.

90% of the staff are patient and helpful. It's the other 10% that make me never want to set foot in this place again . The woman who berated me for needing my bed changed is evil.

04-15-2024 My name is Scott Maley. What can I say about Blue River? My wife and I lived there for four years. My wife is 15 years older than myself. I am 61, and handicapped, retired, and a Registered Nurse. My wife is 71, healthy, but has late stage Alzheimer's. We have been together 32 wonderful years, married for 24 years. OPCO owns Blue River. It is not about taking care of your loved ones with this company, it's about the almighty dollar. There is no compassion. It's just a business. Death. If you care about your loved ones THIS IS NOT the place for their final years. First of all, everybody is related. Nepotism runs rampant. That should tell you a lot. They hide and cover up everything. New management? Nothing has really changed except the owners. The food is on a low, if not the lowest, food grade possible and still be within government nutritional standards. That is ok I guess if you like lots of rice, noodles, chicken, and frozen fish. It is cheap and inexpensive. Last summer, 2023, my wife took a turn for the worse and I needed help changing her diapers because I could no longer accomplish this task as I am handicapped. I did not get help, even after seven months of complaining. They changed her once every 14 hrs. on average, for seven months. There were times it went over 24 hrs. between changes. I have documentation. Two CNA's for 50 residents is not uncommon. That is not good care. I complained to the administrator one Friday night and she said, "We are within regulations" and went home for the weekend. Not a second thought. At night, call lights would stay on for hours. They did not periodically change my wife. They also did not reposition her. Consequently she developed bed sores. I have documentation and pictures. Very unprofessional. For seven months I complained and documented. Her bed sores got worse. Instead of fixing the problem, the management at Blue River came up with a solution. They went behind my back and called our youngest son and told him that the nursing staff felt that I was impeding my wife's care and wanted to put us in separate rooms. Fabricated lies. THEY TRIED TO SEPARATE MY WIFE AND I TO SHUT ME UP AND MAKE IT SO I COULD NOT SEE THE CARE THAT SHE WAS NOT GETTING!!!. Our son said, "absolutely not" and was appalled they would even suggest that. I had to call the State and our Ombudsman. I have voicemails and documentation. Very unprofessional and against the law. At night the nurses and CNA's sleep in there cars or totally leave the premises for hours. Management was aware of this, I made them aware, but nobody seemed to care. Very unprofessional and dangerous. I would ask for pain medicine (morphine) for my wife but on many occasions it took hours for her to get it because the nurses and CNA's are too busy up at the nurses station gossiping, (they forgot) so my wife lays there and suffers. Nepotism. I have documentation. Very unprofessional. I lost count of how many dental appointments I missed because they would fail to coordinate the transportation or the paperwork was incomplete. Six appointments, I think. Not to mention my morning medicine was between 8 and 18 pills. Never the same amount. I guess they just gave me whatever they felt like giving me. I complained to no avail. My bandages that were supposed to be changed once a day. I would go a week until the "outside' wound doctor made her visit. She would complain about not following her instructions to no avail again. My bandages still did not get changed daily. I have documentation. Showers? Another bad story. I could go on and on. The care is appalling. The food is appalling. The management is incompetent, and very unconcerned. We were forced to move to a different nursing home out of fear of being separated and the awful care we received. The move put more unnecessary stress and anxiety on my wife and myself. We moved to Bellview Care Center in St. Joseph. It is like night and day. A much, much, better and capable nursing home all the way around. Especially the care. The food is better, no cigarette butts all over the ground, landscaping outside is kept up, no potholes all over the parking lot, etc. The environment on a whole is so much better. Bellview cares and they put an emphasis on life, not death. It is like night and day. Bellview Care Center in St. Joseph takes pride in the care and living conditions they provide, where as Hilltop at Blue River does not. There is a reason for Hilltop at Blue River's very low rating and the fact that they are prone to neglect and abuse. Do your research and read the ratings and reviews on CMS, as the employees at Blue River write their own reviews. Hilltop at Blue River had a very high death rate during Covid and they were on the National News. Hilltop at Blue River operates within the law. Barely. It is a very , very sketchy place. Notice no place to leave reviews on their website. Scott A. Maley 06-15-02024 UPDATE: Since our move to Bellview Care Center two months ago, my wife is doing remarkably better. She is eating again, her color is a lot better, she is smiling, talking, and her wounds are healed. She now eats because the food is palatable. She still has Alzheimer's of course, but she is being cared for very well. She is checked on every two hours or so. She is happy again and I am not stressed out and mad all the time. The environment is so, so much better. Far and above Hilltop at Blue River.

Went to visit my uncle today and as I expected he was in bed, because that's where he would rather be. I was surprised when the receptionist said I think you walked past him coming in and I said that probably wasn't him use he does like to come out much , actually I had just missed him, he was headed back to his room because he had acty been out mingling with the other residents for about an hour. After talking with him for a bit he stated the staff was actually nice and the food want as bad as he had previously told me and by the end of our conversation he stated he actually had gained some weight( which I could obviously tell) so he wasn't missing any meals. The facility was clean and didn't smell as many homes do and the staff looked as though they were happy to be there. Keep up the good work Blue River!!
